4. Secure the foot to a at surface. Cut a hole into the surface, below or
just beyond, where the RJ-45 port at the back of the NPX will be located.
Route RJ-45 up through the hole as shown in Figure 6.
5. Insert the RJ-45 into the port at the back of the NPX as shown in Figure 7.
6. Install the NPX onto the foot by pressing down and sliding to the right as
shown in Figure 8.
PRODUCT INSTALLATION
Install away from heat sources such as vents, radiators, heat registers and
stoves or near water or steam. Do not exceed the maximum ambient operating
temperature of 32-104° F (0-40° C).
The two types of devices (handheld and gooseneck) may be installed in almost
any location that is convenient for the room design requirements. This includes
setting or attaching the device on a flat surface or to a wall. A Kensington lock
can be used for added security while still allowing the NPX to be moved around.
Surface-Mount Installation
1. Determine where the NPX is to be located.
2. Remove the foot from the NPX by inserting a small Philips screwdriver
or similar tool, with a maximum 3/16” (4.7mm) diameter, into the hole as
shown in Figure 4.
3. While pressing and holding the tool in the hole, slide the foot to the left and
lift it away from the device as shown in Figure 5.

page 4 Installation and Operation Guide NPX
An optional wall-mounting bracket is clipped to the back of the NPX but must
be removed and flipped for installation.
1. Determine the location where the NPX is to be located. The unit must be
no higher than 6’ 7” (2 m) above the oor.
2. Remove the foot from the NPX by inserting a small Philips screwdriver or
similar tool (maximum 3/16” (4.7mm) diameter) into the hole as shown in
Figure 8.
3. While pressing and holding the tool into the hole, slide the foot to the left
and lift it away from the device as shown in Figure 10.
4. Slide the back plate slightly to the left and lift it away from the device. Turn
the bracket 180 degrees as shown in Figure 12.
5. Attach the bracket to a single or double gang box with at-head screws as
shown in Figure 13. (screws and gang box not included).
6. Connect the RJ-45 to the port at the back of the NPX and attach the NPX
to the back plate by placing and sliding it to the left until it clicks into place
as shown in Figure 14.
7. Removing the NPX from the back plate is the opposite of step 6. Insert a
tool into the release hole and slide the device to the right (instead of the
left) and lift it o󰀨 of the bracket.
